Michelle Dempsey, Title 19 Specialist in CT

Michelle Dempsey, Title 19 Specialist in CT Michelle Dempsey guides families through the complex Medicaid application process to help seniors pay nursing home & long term care costs in CT.

Title XIX, or Medicaid, can help pay for long term care, nursing home and home care expenses for the elderly and disabled. The rules can be complex, especially those for a married couple. In addition, the amount of documentation needed for the application in the State of CT is extensive, and the process itself can be frustrating and stretch on for months. I've worked in this field for more than 18 years and submitted over 200 applications while working for an attorney who specialized in elder care. Knowing what the rules and requirements are for the various programs, I can make sure you meet the program qualifications and help you and your family through the application process.
